Hm, well, in general you should upgrade dependencies before installing stuff 
that depends on them, since that should make sure that things install and 
work properly... But in this case and if you really really want to, erm, you 
could try doing something like a
'make XAWVER=7 install'
which should generate the correct packaging list.
